The Weekly Forecast: 11.19-11.25
Alexa Fornoff
Welcome to the Wednesday feature here at the ReadyMade blog. Each week, I will provide a list of upcoming events, releases and happenings for the following Thursday through Wednesday. If you have (or know of) an event that you would like to be included, please shoot me an email, and I will do my best to make it happen.
24-Hour Draw-A-Thon
Saturday, November 21 through Sunday, November 22
New Orleans, Louisiana
With 24 hours of programmed drawing booths, workshops, games, and other activities, the Press Street Draw-A-Thon at The Green Project facilitates literally thousands of drawings that wind up covering every inch of the space. Also, it’s a free, all ages event where you can release some creative energy.
Cranksgiving
Saturday, November 21
New York City, New York
Since 1998, the New York Bike Messenger Foundation (NYBMF) has organized Cranksgiving to act as both a competition and a food drive. Last year, the alleycat race donated over $1,000 worth of food items to Saint Mary’s Soup Kitchen and over $1,600 to City Harvest. Each rider has one hour to find the participating grocery stores in Manhattan, purchase the designated items, and head to the finish line. In order to participate, you just need to register at the event and race!
Block Party
Saturday, November 21
Los Angeles, California
An art tour of sorts, Block Party travels to five different non-traditional locations (apartments, storefronts, etc.) with contemporary art installations. Favorite exhibition based on title alone? It’s definitely I Was A Teenage Pieman, or… Attack of the Flying Pies. A bicycle friendly tour, and accessible via the Metro Gold Line, Block Party will take you beyond the street and into some truly riveting places.
Score!
Saturday, November 21
New York City, New York
Thanksgiving is a time of giving back, and Score! turned their usual clothing/goods/objet d’art swap into a fundraiser for City Harvest. The entrance fee of $3 and the $5 tote bag proceeds will go straight to the organization, plus Showpaper curated the music, so you know you’ll be jamming from 1-7 pm.
